behind the scenes video<\/a> of the statues that shows glimpses of the actual bison. To have a more fully educated dialogue, here are a couple screen grabs I snagged that better show them off.<\/p>\nThe evidence I have based on pose, height, etc. on these, you\u2019re looking at the baby bison. The smallest of the three, this is supposed to\u2026<\/p>\n
Wait. Aren\u2019t I the guy who creates short football videos for y\u2019all? Here you go. My All-22-inspired video breakdown of the new statues.<\/p>\n
Look, I\u2019m a realist. I know the design isn\u2019t for everyone. I\u2019m not going to pick a fight in the comments defending them. Many of you wanted more realistic bison and to be perfectly clear I would have loved that too.<\/p>\n
If you watched the video (and you should), you\u2019ll see that bison family is the centerpiece of an area called \u201cFamily Circle.\u201d The area around these will be wall\/bench\/interactive coolness. What appear to be decorative walls are bench height to sit and hang out as you enter the stadium. Surrounding that will be tributes to Bills greats. The entire scene will have dynamic lighting.<\/p>\n
The bison themselves will have lights, breathe smoke out of the nostrils, and should be an imposing height. The bull is set to be 27\u2019 high, the cow at 23\u2019 height, and baby bison will come in at 12\u2019. The baby is the one you see in the video I made.<\/p>\n
How high is that? Here are some conversion charts ranging from baby to bull.<\/p>\n
None of that is a good sales pitch on the steel or \u201crobo\u201d look over a more realistic bison. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll convince too many people, but here are a few reasons I think I like them a lot\u2026<\/p>\n
It\u2019s okay if you still hate \u2018em. At the very least you\u2019re now hating them with more complete information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the most controversial things in recent memory for the Buffalo Bills came courtesy of a design…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":837057,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[1622,7],"class_list":{"0":"post-837056","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-buffalo-bills-opinion","9":"tag-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116301705070301858","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=837056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837056\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/837057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=837056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=837056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=837056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
